Below you can see new re-enamelled pre-74 Aga 'Deluxe' range cooker hob and lids. The hob is the single flat section that fits around the hotplates and flue. It must be lifted in above the hotplate and dropped down onto the front, back and sides of the cooker on which it sits. It is secured onto 'tie' rods that go right down to the bottom of the cooker by hob screws. The hob caps screw into these to finish the look. The hinge blocks are always re-enamelled along with the towel rail brackets and towel rail itself if it's looking shabby!

Matthew is from a farming family near Bath and a graduate of King's College London who decided not to follow the 'standard' path into banking or the law. He has been working with these fabulous cookers in some form or another since 2003. Matthew runs Blake and Bull from beautiful Bradford on Avon, near Bath. Alf the golden retriever makes sure the working day finishes at 6pm sharp - dog walk time!
